Mostly true

The subsidy removal should have come with palliatives to ensure consumption didn't fall off

Today, Nigeria has negative consumption, zero net job creation and expensive goods

That's not reform, it's regression

[Dr Terry Simpson @drterrysimpson]

Do you know what makes a good doctor?

Do you ask your physician their MCAT score? Their class rank in medical school? Their Step scores? Or do you ask whether they listen, whether they stay calm under pressure, whether they explain things clearly, whether they can make hard decisions at 2 AM when someone is dying?

Those of us who train physicians — from medical students to fellows — spend years discussing exactly this question. And one thing becomes obvious very quickly: merit is not reducible to a number.

GPA and MCAT scores are opening screens. They help determine who can enter the conversation. They are not prophecies about who will become the best clinician, surgeon, teacher, scientist, or healer.

We have all met brilliant people who collapse the moment uncertainty, chaos, or emotion enters the room. Would you want them taking the call when your child arrests at 2 AM? When your spouse has metastatic cancer? When your parent must come off a ventilator?

Medicine is practiced on frightened human beings, not on Scantrons.

And importantly, we actually know the literature on this. The relationship between standardized test scores and who becomes the most trusted physician, best professor, strongest researcher, or finest clinician is far weaker than many people desperately want to believe.

My dream as an undergraduate many moons ago was to serve in the city of Jos. I had heard so much about the weather and its people, very welcoming, jovial, innocent. That dream never came true. I got Sokoto instead. Illela, to be precise, a border town with Niger Republic.
Absolutely no regrets though. Serving in Sokoto helped me further understand the Northerners more. Picked up a little Hausa too. All gone now, anyway, aside a few greetings. That said, it saddens me today what Jos has become. A centre of disunity, horror killings, and freedom of movement now limited. My first and last trip to Jos years ago was one of trepidation, never really savouring its essence, the feel of its people. To now see students of Unijos running helter-skelter and asked to leave campus, breaks my heart.
The government has truly failed the majority, but I can not exonerate the people who have allowed themselves to be exploited for whatever reason. I can never understand how a man can attack and mutilate a fellow human being if what we see on social media is anything to go by. How we are unable to live peacefully breaks my heart. I urge the people of Jos and surrounding areas/states to please sheath their swords and remember the humanity that exists within them(us).

On World TB Day, take a stand—raise awareness and support those affected. Early detection and treatment save lives.

Fact: TB spreads through the air but is preventable and curable.

As I analysed earlier for @sov_media, Senegal's win against Morocco wasn't "just" a football game. It was a globally televised lesson in defiance and resistance.

The usual suspects were never going to take it lying down. This was telegraphed.

The Lord is not yet done with us.

Yesterday marked the groundbreaking ceremony and flag-off of the construction of Covenant University's College of Medicine with the Chancellor, Dr David Oyedepo, the Pro-Chancellor, Pastor Mrs Faith Oyedepo, and other top officials of the University and the Commission.

This is a testament to God's faithfulness, and to Him alone be all the glory!

They’re looking at it from the perspective of employees, not users of the service. That’s something most of us fall into at times. We separate our professional interest from our personal vulnerability.

It’s similar to how some doctors are "happy" when qualified doctors go on strike. They still know that their own families might need emergency care during that period. Supporting collective action doesn’t mean they think they’re immune from needing the system.

I think for a lot of people, they don't see any difference between disruption that they hope will rijig a dysfunction system, and the established neglect that has it on a trajectory of decay anyway.
It is some kind of personal protest that has been brewing for a long time.

I am "young" enough to remember when we used to travel from city to city with files in our hands, recommendation letters, and crumpled ties to beg hospitals to take residency doctors.

People used to pay millions of Naira to try to get jobs and there was still no guarantee of securing one. This "demand" created a mentality amongst the "medical elders", old guards and hospital adminstrators that this demand will always exist and they constantly ignored deep-seated issues in the residency program that needed reforms a long time ago. "After all, give them shit, they will still stay. There are hundreds waiting for their job"

Deep, structural problems in residency were ignored for years. Poor supervision. Unsafe workloads. Delayed salaries. No clear training pathways. No accountability. Workplace bullying, None of it mattered, because there were "hundreds waiting."

What we're seeing now is not just glee from young doctors. It's rational choice and self-preservation. People have options now. They’ve seen how previous generations were treated. They’ve watched seniors burn out, stagnate, and struggle. They’ve done the maths and decided it’s not worth it. Even if the current japa pathways close completely, a lot of them will rather leave the practice then do medicine.

This is a deeper problem that goes beyond just japa and we all need to go back to the drawing board. A lot of people are now "leaders" now in healthcare. Some of those issues that were there way before the first PLAB seats opened up in Lagos or Owerri, are still there today. We need to start seeing how we can address them.

WORLD LEPROSY DAY
Leprosy is curable — not a curse.
Stigma delays treatment. Delayed treatment causes disability. Disability reinforces stigma
Early diagnosis saves lives and dignity. MDT treatment is free worldwide with WHO support
Let’s end stigma n stand with those affected

On the day of Albert Einstein’s death, instead of going to Princeton hospital like other reporters, a photographer named Ralph Morse went to Einstein’s office and bribed the superintendent with a fifth of scotch to let him in. He then took these photos of Einstein’s desk mere hours after he died.

Albert Einstein died on April 18, 1955, at the age of 76. As news spread, journalists and photographers hurried to the Princeton Hospital where he had spent his final hours. But Life magazine photographer Ralph Morse thought differently. Rather than joining the crowd, he realized that Einstein’s office at Princeton University might hold a more meaningful glimpse into the scientist’s life. With a quick bribe of a bottle of scotch to the building’s superintendent, Morse gained entry and captured hauntingly intimate photographs of Einstein’s cluttered desk, shelves, and chalkboard, frozen in time only hours after the physicist’s death.

The desk was piled high with papers, journals, and notes, an image of a mind still at work. The blackboard, filled with equations, showed Einstein wrestling with his final problems. These photos became iconic not only for their historical significance but also for their poignancy, reminding the world that genius itself is often born from chaos.

Einstein once said, “If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?” making this photograph of his workspace all the more fitting as his final portrait.

Henry Moseley, the inventor of the modern periodic table, was killed at the age of 27 by a sniper in the Gallipoli battle in 1915.

Moseley was a brilliant physicist who worked at the University of Manchester under Ernest Rutherford, the father of nuclear physics. He was interested in the properties of X-rays and how they could be used to study the structure of atoms. He used a device called a spectrometer to measure the wavelengths of X-rays emitted by different elements when they were bombarded by electrons. He found that there was a regular pattern in the X-ray spectra, and that each element had a characteristic set of lines that could be used to identify it. He also found that the frequency of the most intense line in each spectrum was proportional to the square of a number that he assigned to each element. This number, which he called the atomic number, was later found to be equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.

Moseley’s discovery was very important for chemistry and physics, as it provided a clear and logical way to organize the elements in the periodic table. It also explained why some elements had similar chemical properties, as they had the same number of electrons in their outer shells. Moseley’s work also supported Niels Bohr’s theory of the atom, which proposed that electrons orbit around the nucleus in discrete energy levels. Moseley’s law also predicted the existence of some missing elements that had not been discovered yet, such as technetium, promethium, and rhenium.

Unfortunately, Moseley’s life and career were cut short by World War I. He volunteered for the British Army as a telecommunications officer, and was sent to Gallipoli, Turkey, where he participated in a campaign against the Ottoman Empire. He was killed by a sniper on August 10, 1915, at the age of 27. His death was mourned by many scientists and scholars, who regarded him as one of the most promising physicists of his generation. Some even speculated that he would have won the Nobel Prize in Physics if he had survived.
Niels Bohr once said that,

Rutherford's work "was not taken seriously at all" and that the "great change came from Moseley."

His death also prompted the British government to ban other prominent scientists from serving in front-line roles, as they realized the value and importance of scientific research for society

🧵regarding 1-handed knot tying:

We'll go over basic concepts about knots and how to tie the '1-handed' knot.

We will also explore why one of the 'throws' is harder than the other, and a different way to do it that may be new to many who trained in surgery in the U.S.
